Slick melodies of sex and seduction have been second nature to r&b singer Tank for the last decade.

His latest album, Now or Never, features collaborations with Drake and Chris Brown and comes off the success of 2007’s Sex, Love and Pain, which earned the former background singer a Grammy nomination for best r&b album.

Tank recently stopped by theGrio and shared his thoughts on the state of r&b music today and why he’s not yet sold on social media.
